Joshua Thayer^ s Statement. 



The cow which I exhibit for premium, is of native breed, 

 and ten years old. She calved, March 27, 1849. The calf 

 was killed at six weeks old, and weighed eighty-eight pounds, 

 without the head and hide. During the past season, she has 

 had no other feed than common pasturage. In the month of 

 June, she gave three hundred and fifty-nine quarts of milk, 

 from which I made forty pounds of butter. In the month of 

 September, she gave one hundred and eighty-three quarts of 

 milk, from which I made twenty-one pounds of butter. I have 

 no accurate means of judging of the richness of her milk, al- 

 though the average has been one pound of butter from nine 

 quarts of milk.

Lot Hinckley^s Statement. 



The cow I oflfer for premium, calved in April last. I killed 

 the calf when four weeks old, which weighed twenty-five and 

 a half pounds to the quarter. The cow gave fifteen quarts of 

 milk per day, in June, which weighed two pounds ten ounces 

 to the quart. I made and sold twenty-three pounds of butter 

 from her milk, in the month of June, besides the butter and 

 milk used in my family. In September, she gave nine quarts 

 of milk per day, weighing two pounds thirteen ounces to the 

 quart, and making twenty pounds of butter, besides the milk 

 used in the family.
